Baseball cards of HOFers as managers/coaches

Ok, guys, you want to see some outside pitches called strikes, take a look at the umpiring in the '95 WS that benefitted Maddox and Glavine...sheesh

Maddux, and Pedro, had the biggest strike zones I have ever seen.

You are not inferior Peter, you are just a naysayer who piles on. At least you got a laugh out of him

As far as skin color, different paints ?

A couple more shots of Williams, for what it's worth.

A condescending laugh, I would guess, based on Darren's tone there.
Do you think it's Williams, man, I just don't see it, I mean it could be given how bad some of the 52T drawings are (e.g. Mantle which but for the fact that the association is burned into our minds doesn't really look much like him), but it's not like it jumps out and screams yeah it has to be him.

Red Schoendienst went in the HOF as a player, and has manager cards from 1965 to 1974 every year I think, plus his cameo in 1990.

Off topic but I believe this is the pic used to produce Mick's 52 TOPPS card?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Irv it is but compare the face in the pic to the drawing. To me, something got lost in the translation, it's almost cartoonish, but it's subjective.

[ALR-bishop]

For me the 53 is more cartoonish ( hope Chris and other Mantleites do not blackball me), but at least whoever did the Topps 52 and 53 Mantles did not take the 51 Bowman Paul Richards approach
